Theoretical description of the Standard Model
Electroweak symmetry breaking through the Higgs mechanism parity Violation
Bhabha scattering
Z-Line Shape and forward / reverse asymmetry Higgs production and decay
Experimental setup and results of key experiments to test the Standard Model and for determining its parame-ters
Search for the Higgs boson Intended learning outcomes
The students know the theoretical fundamental laws of the standard model of Particle Physics and the key ex-periments that have established and confirmed the standard model. They are able to interpret experimental or theoretical results in the framework of the standard model and know its validity and limits.
Courses (type, number of weekly contact hours, language — if other than German)
V (4) + R (2)
Module taught in: German or English
Method of assessment (type, scope, language — if other than German, examination offered — if not every semester, information on whether module is creditable for bonus)
written examination (approx. 90 to 120 minutes) or oral examination of one candidate each (approx. 30 minutes) or oral examination in groups (groups of 2, approx. 30 minutes per candidate) or project report (approx. 8 to 10 pages) or presentation/talk (approx. 30 minutes).
If a written examination was chosen as method of assessment, this may be changed and assessment may in-stead take the form of an oral examination of one candidate each or an oral examination in groups. If the method of assessment is changed, the lecturer must inform students about this by four weeks prior to the original exami-nation date at the latest.
